The speed gives you all the power you need.
Spin bites well and is easy to put on the ball, but beginners or junior high players without much strength will probably struggle to handle the rubber well and end up making a lot of mistakes.
Backspin balls are easy to lift - to the point where you might overshoot.
Receiving is never a problem - both flicks and pushes are above average, and the push especially stands out.
Blocks and counters can become real weapons depending on the player's skill.
If you can grip the ball well with the sheet on your serves, you get a lot of spin, and both short
and long serves are satisfying.
I'd recommend this to players who already have the technique to generate spin, who can swing through firmly
in a match since the rubber is hard, and who have some strength since it's on the heavier side too - intermediate-and-up players looking to boost their drive power should be really satisfied.
On the other hand, players without much strength or without solid form - junior high or below - probably won't be able to handle it well and
will make a lot of mistakes, so it's better to try the 40 or 45 in the same GF line instead.
It's best suited for the forehand.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

The speed is moderate.
Hitting against backspin is really easy, and countering is easy too.
I never feel like I'm losing the spin battle.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

It doesn't give you much speed, but it's outstanding for how easily it puts spin on the ball.
The short game is incredibly easy to play
— for pretty much every technique, if you swing through the ball it lands well.Blocking and countering are also easy
and I've almost never lost the spin battle in topspin rallies!Personally I find loop drives grip amazingly well with this, so I get the impression I don't get countered much.
That said, there are plenty of times when I think "why isn't it gripping the ball here?"
Still, I'd definitely recommend it for power players with strong impact, tricky players who focus on the short game,
and anyone who wants to play table tennis with a lot of pace variation!Also, hardly anyone uses this rubber these days,
so it seems to produce a ball opponents just aren't used to receiving.
So it seems like it feels awkward to play against for the other side.It's an old rubber, so it wouldn't be surprising if it got discontinued any time now, but it's still a rubber I can recommend!

This rubber is good all-around in spin, speed, and control. That said, it doesn't really have that one standout quality like G1, Tenergy, or Rasanter, so it might feel a bit boring for advanced players. Control is good, and pushes bite really well. It's a bit hard, so it's a rubber that suits some people more than others.
I'd recommend it to people who want to get stronger, or who want sharp, biting pushes.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I have this on the forehand side of a Chinese-style penhold.
It's been about 3 weeks since I glued it on, and it's on the heavier side. The sponge's bubbles are coarse, and the feel is on the harder side too.
It does put spin on the ball, but overall I got the impression it's more speed-oriented than spin-oriented.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

When you really make contact, it puts out amazing power. The initial speed off the racket is already pretty fast, but the moment it bounces it turns into insane speed. I'd recommend this for one-shot-drive players!

There's no technique that's hard to pull off with this. Though sometimes, for whatever reason, the ball just drops straight down...
Good speed and spin, definitely suited for forehand! Personally I feel like it pairs best with a 7-ply blade!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
